2013 Flight training in PA30 engine shutdown and landing

[@johnmorris7815]

Only ever shut an engine down at a safe height then reinstate it, after that just use zero thrust. Ps you are NOT “Simulated engine out” if it’s not going round.

[@stealhty1]

Excellent Job,never thought you guys was actually going in with one engine

[@MrSmddmd]

Well planned, my one and only time, worked well, lessons learned..

[@benjaminramos3535]

I really like that panel set up the way it is , the 530 on top of the 155 cant go wrong with an ol 155!

[@MrSmddmd]

thank you, yes, simple and easy, I fly a couple planes w/ full glass, or 750/650, east coast stuff, it's too busy...simple is best

[@MrSmddmd]

Quinnjim, the guy in the right seat and I, are unrehearsed guys trying, first time doing this, to put something on camera for everyone. Sorry, if it isn't hollywood. He was one of the best friends and pilots i've ever known, wish he was still around, but unfortunate cancer took him, and I've not filmed since, maybe one day i will

[@gunsaway1]

I always heard that twin Commanches you should never turn into the dead engine. Well, you proved that wrong on this video. LOL Enjoyed it!

[@davidwright586]

At the appropriate airspeeds, the aircraft is operable in either direction. Some falacies need to be addressed....

[@Stephen05777]

gunsaway1 at low level. If the engine goes on climb through say 500 feet. Hell yea, don’t turn to the dead side to re circuit and land

[@camdraper4644]

Counter rotating Comanches are a different matter

[@Banshee365]

“Simulated engine out.” WTF LOL

[@stefanorso]

Flying a twin-prop after an engine failure sometimes is hard to do and quite dangerous. It typically depends upon the characteristics of the plane and which engine is not working. A failure affecting the critical engine (usually the left one, seen from the pilot's viewpoint) generates more troubles. Some twin prop airplanes do not have the problem concerning the critical engine, as they have two counter-rotating engines. The tendency to yaw can be more strong, depending upon the mass distribution and the shape of the aircraft. In every case, the pilot must keep the IAS above the VMC indicated in the manual. Sometimes he has to pose the airplane in a safe-position, by lowering the wing with the working engine and keeping the nose oriented the other way. This is the traditional technique to prevent the airplane from yawning and entering a fatal spin. Twin props are generally less prone than "zero weight" airplanes to enter a spin, because of mass distribution, but - once the phenomenon of the spin has inadvertently started - there is normally no way to stop it.

Really??

[@Capt_Ron]

Not too smart... creating your own emergency. Next time try "simulated" feather instead of the real emergency. smh

[@MrSmddmd]

Hey Ron, thanks for reply, have done plenty of them, but for once in a lifetime to see how she actually handles, all controlled environment, 2 instructors, it was a good thiing, and recorded

[@edhoeger1]

well get her on the next go round.

[@occyman]

That bloody instructor won't shut up...what a pain
